Ordering Sizes

• Width (Fits Opening): When selecting the size to order, it is essential to understand that the "fits opening" dimension refers to the actual opening size between the brickwork. We have already included the space necessary for the hinges and latch within this measurement. You do not need to make any other allowances. To avoid any confusion, this means that if your opening size measures 10ft, you should order the gates to "fit opening 10ft".

• Height (once installed): This measurement incorporates an allowance of 50mm (2") for ground clearance. It is measured from the ground to the top horizontal frame. The scrollwork above this is not included. 

Do You Need to Buy Metal Posts?

When installing metal posts, make sure you factor in the additional space necessary for these items.

Example: The Buckingham double metal gates designed to "fit an opening" of 10ft combined with 2 x 2" posts will require a total overall space of 10ft 4".

Useful Information About the Buckingham 3ft High Wrought Iron Style Gates

Fittings: Each pair of gates included the necessary hinges, latch and drop bolt. The screws you will need to mount the hinge brackets are not provided.

Posts: When fitting metal posts, you must ensure they are the correct size and type to offer the right level of support. In all instances, "in-ground posts" should be held in place with concrete.

Installation: Hinges should only be mounted to existing masonry, provided the structure can support the weight of the gates safely and securely. For more details, please take a look at the installation guide.

Width: As detailed above, this is the opening size required and does not refer to the physical width of the gates. Please click here for clarification if you are still unsure.

Painting: If you select the Buckingham driveway gates with the primed black (undercoat), you must paint all the exposed surfaces before installation to protect against rust and corrosion. Alternatively, if you would like to upgrade to the low maintenance zinc plated (electro galvanised) and black powder-coated paint finish please choose this option from the menu at the top of the page.
